In 1680 the Apache population was estimated at 5,000; in 1989 it was estimated at about 30,000, of whom most live on reservations.

 Jicarilla Apache Nation History
One group, later to be known as the Jicarilla Apaches, settled in the Platte and Arkansas River valleys of Colorado (Denver and Pueblo).

 Apache Nation - Crystalinks
Apache is the collective name for several culturally related tribes of Native Americans, aboriginal inhabitants of North America, who speak a Southern Athabaskan language.
During their zenith in the SouthWest, two divisions of the Jicarilla Apache were known: the Llanero, or "plains people," and the Hoyero, the "mountain people." They roamed from central and eastern Colorado into western Oklahoma, and as far south as Estancia, New Mexico.
At Apache Pass in 1862, Cochise and Colorado, with 500 fighters, held their ground against a force of 3000 California volunteers under Carleton until artillery fire was brought to bear on their position.

 "Beaded Cape" by Courtney Wilson
The Jicarilla Apache women, unlike other Apache tribes, did not adopt the "camp dress." Prior to acculturation of "white" apparel, the Jicarilla Apache women wore a two-skin deer hide dress that was sewn along the shoulders and down the sides.
In fact, the name Jicarilla was given by the Spanish and it means "little basket makers." Although the Jicarilla Apache's sold their baskets in the tourist market, sacred items such as the beaded cape would have never been sold for tourism.
Brian Veho from the Jicarilla Apache Reservation Cultural Center says the geometric pattern was definitely created by a woman, and the deer skin was also tanned by a woman- usually the mother or an aunt.

 Jicarilla Apache Indian History
The Jicarillas were first mentioned by this name early in the 18th century.
They were regarded as a worthless people by both the Spanish settlers of New Mexico and their American successors, in raids for plunder the worst Apache tribes, more treacherous and cruel and less brave and energetic warriors than the Ute, but equally fond of intoxicants.
The present divisions of the Jicarilla, as recorded by Mooney (JMS., B. E., 1897), are: Apatsiltlizhihi, Dachizhozhin, Golkahin, Ketsilind, and Saitinde.

 Jicarilla History
During the latter 1800s, the Jicarilla were divided into two pseudo-moieties, the Ollero or mountain sand people (sáidìndé) who were semi-sedentary farmers, and the Llanero or plains people (gù gàhén) who spent portions of each year hunting bison in the southern Plains.
The nature of Jicarilla tribal organization and economic lifestyles during the 1800s was heavily influenced by specific historical events beginning in the 1700s.
Not only were agents very concerned about keeping track of the Jicarilla through ration rolls and scouting patrols, but agency locations were changed several times, forcing the Jicarilla to move in order to obtain their much-needed rations.

 Merrion v. Jicarilla Apache Tribe, 455 U.S. 130, 102 S.Ct. 894, 71 L.Ed.2d 21 (1982)
The fact that the Jicarilla Apache Reservation was established by Executive Order rather than by treaty or statute does not affect our analysis; the Tribe's sovereign power is not affected by the manner in which its reservation was created.
Indeed, when the Tribe attempted to introduce at trial evidence of the services it had provided to establish this relationship, the District Court rejected this evidence upon petitioners' objection that such evidence was irrelevant to their challenge.
The first Jicarilla Apache Constitution was approved by the Secretary of the Interior in 1937.

 Apache
Interestingly, the Apache people actually called themselves the Dine meaning the People, but by other nations they were called the Apache, which is Zuni for “enemy”.  They became fierce fighters; they traveled in small bands and became great hunters of buffalo, deer, lizards, and just about any other plains and desert animals.
This treaty would place the Apaches on an Arizona reservation leaving only small bands of Apache raiders to defend their territory.  The Apache raiders were led by Chief Geronimo, who was considered the last great chief of the Apache nation.  He and his raiders, terrorized the Southwest until they were finally captured in 1886.
The Apache culture is similar to the Navaho Nation due to their shared family line.  The center of their culture is self-importance.  Because of this self-importance, raiding was not only encouraged but was enjoyed.

Pursuant to long-term leases with the Jicarilla Apache Tribe, petitioners, 21 lessees, extract and produce oil and gas from the Tribe's reservation lands.
At the time the leases contained in the record were executed, the Jicarilla Apache Constitution contained no taxing authorization whatever; the severance tax ordinance was not enacted until many years after all lessees had been granted an unlimited right to extract oil and gas from the reservation.
Accordingly, the fact that there is no evidence that the Jicarilla Apache Tribe ever imposed a tax of any kind on a nonmember does not require the conclusion that it has no such taxing power.

Apache is an Athabaskan (Na-Dene) language spoken by about 15,000 in Arizona and New Mexico.
There are in fact two Apache languages: Western Apache and Eastern Apache, each of which has a number of dialects, including Jicarilla, Lipan, Kiowa-Apache, Chiricahua, and Mescalero.
The name Apache probably comes from the Yuma word for "fighting-men" and/or from apachu, which means "enemy" in Zuni.
